Monday Update 2/14/2011 well been a busy weekend got the new HPS on friday had the girls on half strength bloom Nutes mixed with the full strength grow Nutes in prep for flowering put them on full strength bloom with 1/4 strength grow nutes mixed in today and switched to 12/12 light cycle on saturday so i think things will settle down for bit now while the girls switch over to flowering more tommorow when i have had time to organize and think again

Tuesday 2/15/2011 update. Well things are going well did a thorough inspection of the girls today and have an official bud site count for each the natural grow BBG has 44 bud sites the topped semi Lst BBG has 22(maybe 26 if the last 2 actually complete) and the Tangerine Dream has 12 this as of today so there might be more that develop as the girls progress into flowering we are only on day 4 so all in all things look great. I am really liking the TD and how quick she is to respond to LST I moved her over to give her more growing room i leaned her over at the base this morningand she is already turned upright again by 5:00 this afternoon SWEET she was just t 5 "s tall before the LST and producing her sixth internode.I did a reservoir check again today and it is official these are some thirsty girls going through 1/2 gal of water per day plus whatever i give them for foliar feeding which is usually 2 or 3 times a day will add more pics tommorow might try to do a video if i can get through the lighting issue. Later All have a good night

BBG sounds like a good strain to grow. im growing Extrema & El Monstre which is cross with blueberry & blue kronic. Its supposed to have a fruity taste and fruitiful smell as well. I hope they look as good at a month old as yours did. Im 13 days in with DWC. All is good so far. Keep up the good work

Yeah I am very pleased with the G13 Blueberry Gum gotta give them props on their genetics these girls grow like monsters on steroids i ordered the feminized seeds so hope they are all good to go i have heard a bit of worry bout hermies but i should be ok as i keep the Ph right at 5.8 or 6 as they seem to like it at that PH anyway thanks for the comments and stoppin by + rep follow along if you like on day five of flower hoping to start seeing some kinda chnge soon.

First... I'm subbed to this

Second... We got the same 'high off life' shirt! I wanted a cooler one :lol: oh well gotta buy more seeds anyway right? ;)

Third... WERE USING THE SAME NUTES! I assume you got the recipe for success thing by Floranova too? It's good looking shit, it's actually cheaper to get the kit with all the boosters, than just getting 3 normal bottles of grow boost & bloom... :? works out though I love that the root66 is kelp. Kelp is really good shit, and I was actually planning on incorporating it into my grow.... i plan on putting like 4ml\L in a spray bottle, and soaking the roots right before transplants.. I hear it's full of growth hormones that make cells divide faster and what not :) Basically the same stuff that makes kelp grow so fast and vigorous!

as clear a pic i could get of her first flowerView attachment 1446340well this is todays pic update on day 6 of flowering with 2BBG and 1TD the TD is looking very sativa dominant and has a very nice tropical look especially since the LST reminds me of the palm trees you see pictures of growing sideways toward the ocean will post pics as i take them will try for full update on saturday might turn the HPS off for few minutes to get some nice clear pics other than that not much goin on than the routine stuff doing foliar feedings still randomly everyday most often just before lights out or just after they come on to simulate morning dew my philosophy is to try and simulate as natural environment possible and it seems to do well its kinda hard to pinpoint one single factor other than everything is working very well as a system.if its not broke or malfunctioning i aint gonna mess with it Later All and Awesome Blossoms for everyone

+rep Bro that is an awesome looking Blueberry How tall is she? do you have thread goin would like to keep posted on your finish and what the final yield is wet and dry as i am on day 6 of flowering and think i might run out of space so some good specs on her would be appreciated. I can only push four maybe five feet in height again thanks for the post b.R. very inspiring pics.

start tying down your branches gently now then :lol:

have the plant grow outwards as much as possible THEN up...

i got mine under a 400 watt hps. i didnt use lst or anything, just let her grow and kinda pulled the braches apart as she grew to get better light penetration on the lower parts. She is about 3 and a half feet tall in fox farms ocean forest. i use the fox farms grow big, tiger bloom and big bloom as well as molasses. the smell is like bubbalicious blueberry gum, sweet, skunky and fruity funk. i dont have a journal or anything, but im subbed up in your thread here, i can just post some pics and everything when im about to harvest and after the harvest so you can peep em out and compare, thanks for the comments and the +rep. much appreciated my man

That is pretty much Low Stress Training my man ;) Bending/moving branches out of the way to optimize your light and penetration..


A lot of people think LST is a thing, like screen of green, or some method of growing... It's really not, it's just changing your plants ever so slightly as to not stress them. Hence LOW STRESS training ;)

Don't be afraid to train your plants people ;)


Nothing on you b.R. I just used your post as a jumping off point.. wanted to put that out there!
